S. Sheriff et al., Implementation of a six-dimensional search using the AMoRe translation function for difficult molecular-replacement problems, J APPL CRYS, 32, 1999, pp. 98-101
A six-dimensional molecular-replacement procedure has been implemented usin
g Perl scripts and the CCP4 version of the translation function of the mole
cular-replacement program AMoRe. These tools have allowed the structure det
ermination of CTLA-4 monomer from NMR-derived coordinates, and of a potenti
al complex of MurD with a substrate. In both cases other molecular-replacem
ent programs, X-PLOR and AMoRe, when used in a conventional manner, either
failed or did not yield an obvious solution.
